The video was recorded using version 6 so first 3 minutes of test creation will be different if you're using TestComplete 7, but if you want to know how and why you should use TestExecute don't miss this video.

TestComplete 7 provides built-in support for a lot of the controls and components available on the market today. If a control is supported by TestComplete, it is automatically associated with the appropriate object during software testing and you can use the object’s methods and properties to work with the control from your software tests.

But, what happens when controls are not automatically recognized by TestComplete, or TestComplete doesn’t have built-in support for a control? TestComplete 7 includes a Text Recognition technology, which is a special approach for recognizing controls that do not have built-in support in TestComplete. Text Recognition recognizes objects by their text and allows you to effectively test any control in your application, no matter what type of control it is. After TestComplete recognizes a control through Text Recognition, it provides specific methods and properties that allow you to simulate user actions over the control or retrieve its text.

In my previous blog, Extending Delphi Application Testability With External Debug Info, I told you about TestComplete’s new StripTDS utility and how it allows you to create release builds of Delphi applications with external debug information. StripTDS is a standalone utility with a simple command-line interface, so it can be easily integrated into automated builds. In this blog, I’ll show you how to run StripTDS from build macros created in Automated Build Studio. Continue reading for a full tutorial...
